Victor Blasco Cabañas

Victor Blasco Cabañas is a Researcher at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia, actively contributing to the SEAPNB (Stereoselective synthesis of analogues of bioactive natural products) research group. His work bridges pharmaceutical chemistry and biological evaluation to develop novel therapeutic compounds, with institutional affiliation centered on advancing drug discovery through synthetic methodologies.

He earned his Doctorate from the University of Valencia in 2017 with the thesis "Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of compounds with potential antimalarial and antitumoral activity," supervised by Dr. Ana Carmen Cuñat, Dr. Juan Alberto Marco Ventura, and Dr. Juan F. Sanz-Cervera. This foundational work established his expertise in translating molecular design into biologically validated candidates.

His research program prioritizes stereoselective synthesis of natural product analogues to optimize pharmacological profiles, particularly targeting malaria and cancer pathways. By emphasizing molecular precision in compound construction, his approach seeks to enhance therapeutic efficacy while minimizing off-target effects through structure-activity relationship refinement.

Within the SEAPNB framework, Dr. Blasco Cabañas collaborates on interdisciplinary projects that integrate synthetic organic chemistry with biological screening, fostering innovation in bioactive molecule development. The group's strategic focus on natural product-inspired scaffolds positions their work at the forefront of medicinal chemistry for neglected tropical diseases and oncology.
